ROBBED BY HIS OFFICE BOY.
Capture Of the Thief Who Stole Moses
Bensinger's Diamonds.
From the Chicago Nelcs.

B9nSLngSrS Diamonds.
From the Chicago Ne,cs.
A few months ago a package containing
$4,000 worth of diamonds and jewels was
stolen from the safe of Moses Bensinger
Mr.. Bensinger was greatly disturbed over
his loss and questioned the clerks in his Office
very closely, but obtained no satisfaction.
He then consulted a detective agency, but
the detectives were no more successful than
he had been and they were taken off. He
finally put a personal in the newspapers
Offering the thief 81, 800 for the return of
the Jewels, and on the following morning he
received word that he could have his
diamonds providing he would put up $1,000
After some correspondence with the thief a
place of meeting was arranged for at Free
man Bros bank on LaSalle street, where
the exchange would be made.
The thief sent the diamonds by a messen-
ger who, however, said he had been in
stucted not to take check but demand thu
cash. The boy would not tell who sent him
with the package, and Mr.. Bensinger's mes
senger left with the diamonds without put
ting up the check.
Mr. Bensinger received several telephone
messages demanding the 5000 cash, and
threatening dire consequences i'll case the
money was not forthcoming Last WedneS-

the cheeky thief offering to settle for 81, 800.
Mr. Bensinger agreed to settle, and directed
the stranger to call up the next day. 1t
was an easy matter to locate the telephone,
and watch was kept to see ii the thief
could not be captured
Mr.. Bensinger's brother secreted himself
in a closet where he could see everybody
who entered the Office whore the strangers
telephone was located. What was his sur
prise the next day to recognize in the
stranger "Webbie," his brothers office boy.
Wobbie was accused of the robbery and
very coolly confessed it, at the same time
demanding the $1,000. lie was paid a
weeks salary and told to skip, an invitation
that the audacious rascal was slow in ac-
cepting.
As the boys parents are very respectable
people and are not aware of his escapade,
Mr. Bensinger refused to disclose his name.
The boys brother has taken him out of
town, where he will be given chance to
reform. Mr.. Bensinger refuses TO prosecute
Tie boy, owing to his respectable parentage.

hand in settling the fisheries troubles
This announcement was made late Sat-
urday night and has caused general
surprise on all sides. 1t is the first time
that the British authorities have inter-
ferred in the fisheries dght, and the an
expected change OF policy occasions no
little anxiety among Americans here.
They don't know what to make of It.
Inc men-of-war will not aot as patrols
only TO keep American fishermen out
side Of the forbidden waters. but will
make seizures when they CROSS the line,
There are three war ships available for
the service at this moment. Admiral
Lyons flagship. the Bellerophop; the
Canadian and the Pylades. These vessels
are now in Halifax harbor. The present
intention is to send the ships early next
week to the guilt OF ST. LawrenceI to
reinforce the hve Canadian cruisers al
ready there. IL is not likely that more
than three war ehipE will be put at the
work OF selzing Yankees but II it should
be considered advisable, aH many more
can be ordered into these waters from
Newfoundland and Bermuda at few
days notice.
Consui- General Phelan has received
no further advioes concerning the seiz-
ure at Souris OF the schooner j. Ell. Per.
rim, and 1t is not likely that he will hear
anything more until the course to be
pursued by the dominion authorities is
known. 1t has leaked out that the fish
cries department. proposes making q
change IN the cruiser service by replacing
the sailing vessels with small but very
swift lauDohers. ss
II the proposal should be adopted at
least score of launches would be pro-
cured as soon as possible. II is asserted
that the American authorities are doing
all they can towards keeping matters as
smooth as possible between the two
countries. American fishermen, board
ed by officers of the American war ship

The officer in charge OF the improve
ment of the upper Missour, and Yellow
stone rivers, Captain Sears, is not much
IN favor of spending money upon these
far west streams. He says:
Isee no use in spending any great

souri,. There is another Yssw OF the mat

as an affair OF wise policy. AS long as

tana, SO long will'the public be benefit-
ed by lower freight rates on competing
railroads. The channel may never be
used, but its existence ready for use will
act powerfully as check on extortion-
ate freight rates.
The captain recommends that $3.50. 900
be appropriated by congress for, next
years work. $11O,O 900 to be spent be-
tween Carroll and Fort Benton and $780,

SHOOTING AT 0'BRIEN.
AN ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION
MADE At HAMILTON.

william O'Brien Uninjured, But One of
His Companions Wounded on the
wrist-A Warm Reception by the
Townspeople in General.
HAMILTON, Ont, May 24.-An attempt
was made to assassinate Mr.. O'Brien as
he left the rink last evening. After Kilbride
had spoken several Englishmen and one or
two Americans made addresses some of the
references to Lord Lansdowne being very
bitter. Before the audience was dismissed
and much against Mr. O'Brien's will, he
and Kilbride were spirited off of the plat
form and through a narrow alley to car
riage in waiting. They were accompanied
by Mcmahon and Roch, members of the
local branch Of the land league, while John
Nelson held the reins aad T. P. O'Brien sat
on the box with him. Hardly had the party
entered the carriage when an unfriendly
group Of men spied them and began kissing
and groaning. Just as the carriage wheeled
around the market building into Market
square, eight revolver shots were fired. Mel
son was shot in the wrist and one bullet
whistled past Editor O'Brien's hand, and
crashed through the carriage window. T.
P. O'Brien seized the reins and lashed the
horses into run. At the hotel there was
another hostile crowd who hooted as the
party in the carriage tried to open the door
but could not. Mcmahon jumped over the
door and drawing revolver held the crowd
at bay, while Mr.. O'Brien and his friends
were making their exit from the carriage,
also by the.same uncomfortable way. As
the party stepped into the corridors of the
hotel, vo!ley of rotten eggs was hurled at
them, but no one was hit. Chief of Police
McKinnon and his men now rushed up, but
all was over. Nelson's wound is de-
clared dangerous 1t is on the left wrist.
No arrests were made.
